Article Image Alt Text

The Livingston High School cross country program hosted the 15th annual Lancer Invitational on Friday, October 12, at Littell’s Pond. The meet, attended by opponents from Kearny, Madison, New Brunswick, and Morris Knolls, saw Lancer Philmon Mehari repeat as champion. Despite efforts to improve conditions, the recent rainy weather had resulted in a course that was muddy and slippery in parts, and would cause slower race times than in ideal conditions. But the Lancers’ Philmon Mehari, noted coach James Memory, “had prepared well and left nothing to luck. For the second time in as many years, he took it out hard, opened up a lead and never looked back, claiming his second consecutive Lancer Invitational Crown, in 17:30, a full 23 seconds ahead of the next finisher.” To read more please log in or subscribe to the digital edition http://www.etypeservices.com/West%20Essex%20TribuneID480/ ...
